THE DALLES COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT (1860-1945)Approximately 34.46 acres, roughly bounded by Interstate Highway 84 on the north, Sixth Street on the south, Union Street on the west, and Laughlin Street on the east, all in corporate limits of The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon

NRIS #86002953

The Dalles Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 4,1986. In 1996, the City of The Dalles was awarded a Historic Preservation Fund matching grant-in-aid to update documentation of the 95 standing features within the district. The accompanying document supersedes the original with the exception of the U.S.G.S. Topographical Quadrangle showing UTM references which are unaffected by the revisions. The revised document accomplishes the following.

Amends the historic period of significance to 1860-1945, as opposed to 1857-1938.

• Adds auxiliary buildings, revises construction date, or revises contributing status of 22 properties based on new information and the alterations and rehabilitation projects which have been carried out since 1986.

• Corrects an error in the original boundary delineation which, in Block 5, BigelowAddition to the Original Plat of The Dalles City, was drawn through a large non-historic building occupying Lots 7 through 10 and portions of Lots 11 and 12 of said Block. 5. As revised, the boundary properly includes the entire tax lot occupied by the Bakitchen Bakery and represents an addition of 0.46 acres to the district.

In accordance with Federal Regulations 36 CFR 60.14(a)(l), relating to changes to boundaries of properties listed in the National Register, the revised historic district nomination was presented for review by the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation on February 12,1998. Pursuant to the rules, the affected property owner and the Certified Local Government were notified of their opportunity to comment on the inclusion of the full tax lot within the bounds of the registered area. No objection was expressed from any quarter. The state review board approved the amended period of significance and minor boundary change in unanimous action.

NRIS #86002953 Listing date: 11-4-86

Revision of Contributing Status

The purpose of this continuation sheet is to affirm the appropriate reclassification of one of the properties within The Dalles Commercial Historic District that was upgraded to contributing status on the basis of new information and a rehabilitation project carried out subsequent to the district's listing in 1986.

The Baldwin Saloon (Inventory No. 105), located at 205 Court Street, is a single-story Italianate commercial building now documented to a date of 1877 instead of 1876. Whereas in the documentation of 1985 the building was characterized as having "extensive modifications on all elevations by covering original brick with stucco" and aluminum windows, the primary facade is now restored. In a model rehabilitation project of recent date, stucco was removed from the streetfront and west elevation. The cast-iron facade arcade appropriately frames four bays of double-leaf glazed and paneled doors with arcuated transoms. All the wall openings which were modified with aluminum frames have been restored, and wood frames are reinstated.

The building dating from the district's primary historic period of significance also is returned to its original use in that it now serves as a micro-brew pub. The interior, essentially a single open space, lacks much of its original finish work since wall cover was removed years ago to expose the brick. However, original flooring is intact and refinished.

National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet

Section number 7 Page l

SummaryThe Dalles Commercial Historic District is an irregular shaped area located in the heart of The Dalles, Oregon along the south bank of the Columbia River in Wasco County. The District encompasses approximately 34.36 acres and is located in Township 1 N, Range 13 E, Willamette Meridian. Primarily commercial in character, the District also has civic, religious, governmental, fraternal, agricultural, and residential dwellings within its boundaries. The oldest city park is also included in the District as well as a historic monument.

The District is roughly bounded by 1-84 and First Street on the northern boundary, Laughlin, Federal, and Washington streets on the eastern boundary, East Fifth on the south (with the exception of the city park), and mid-block between Union and Liberty streets on the west.

There are 98 features in the District: 50 Contributing resources and 48 Non- Contributing resources. These resources include: 3 resources previously listed in the National Register of Historic Places; 18 Primary/Contributing resources dating from 1860 to 1899; 29 Secondary/Contributing resources dating from 1900 to 1945 (three are auxiliary buildings); 20 Historic Non- Contributing dating from 1865 to 1935 (one is an auxiliary building); 10 Compatible Non-Contributing resources (one is an auxiliary building); 18 Non- Compatible Non-Contributing resources; and 12 Vacant properties (some used as parking lots).

Physical DescriptionThe Dalles, Oregon, current population 11,460, is located in Wasco County on the south side of the Columbia River, about 87 miles east Portland, Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge. The topography of the area is varied, with a portion of the western boundary of Wasco County at the summit of the forested Cascade Range. The western portion of the county is cut by a myriad of deeply entrenched creeks with fertile rolling hills comprising the principal fruit growing section of the county. The Dalles lies in a portion of Wasco County that is part of the Columbia Deschutes Plateau. This area of filled-in land was formed by the Miocene lava flow contributed to the area's fertile soil. Surrounding The Dalles is a well defined ledge of exposed basaltic stone layers, the remnant of an ancient lake bed from the glacial age.

Section number 7 Page 2

The Columbia River is now a smooth flowing waterway that more closely resembles a lake, due to the completion in 1957 of The Dalles Dam, three miles east of downtown The Dalles. Now submerged are the Big Eddy, Fivemile, and Tenmile rapids, and Celilo Falls. These natural obstructions prompted development of transportation that contributed to the growth of The Dalles as a flourishing commercial center at the head of navigation and shipping on the Columbia River.

In 1966, Interstate 84 (formerly Interstate SON) was constructed along the south side of the Columbia River, replacing the original U.S. Highway 30 (Columbia River Highway), which extended through downtown The Dalles. The highway bisects The Dalles from its dock and river bank, but it has provided efficient surface transportation along the shoreline for nearly 30 years. These transportation developments, along with those of the river, contribute to the commercial stability of the town.

PlatsThe area nominated as The Dalles City Commercial Historic District covers a total of about 16 blocks, which lie within four plats: the Original Dalles City; Gates Addition; Trevitt's Addition; and Laughlin's Addition. These plats represent some of the earliest plats and additions to the city. The majority of the District is in the Original Dalles City plat which has a grid of rectangular blocks, generally measuring 220' x 290', including alleys. Typically/ the^ shoartaaxisof ̂ ^he block i.s perpendicular to the river and is intersected by an east-west alley. The named streets run north-south and the numbered streets, east-west.

District BoundariesThe District boundaries were determined by distinct changes in topography and land use: on the north, the southern right-of-way of Interstate 84; on the east, a shift in land use to residential and light industry; to the south, residential uses and the first tier of basalt bluffs that conforms to the terrain of The Dalles and upon which further residential uses were built; and to the west, additional residential land uses. Trevitt's Addition National Register Historic District abuts the Commercial District on the west.

The proposed district is bounded on the north by the southern right-of-way of Interstate 84. The boundary then runs southerly to First Street, originally Main Street. The area enclosed contains a large operating grain elevator. Easterly, along the alley between First and Second streets, the boundary continues to Laughlin Street, turns south to the alley between Second and Third streets, returning west. This area is the core of the nominated

NFS Form IO-flOO-« - OMB XffxotW Wo. 1024-0018 (8-80)




district containing the highest density of extant primary and secondary buildings in the commercial center of town. The boundary returns to the west to Federal Street, south one-half block, then west and south through one block around a second block to the intersection of East Fifth and Washington Streets. This area contains the most prominent civic buildings that contribute to the context of the district: the Civic Auditorium; the Carnegie Library; and one of the district's most imposing buildings, the third Wasco County Courthouse. The boundary proceeds west to Union Street, south to the alley between Sixth and Seventh streets and thence north, running generally at mid-block to the point of beginning. The latter area contains the offices of Eastern Oregon Episcopal Diocese, and the oldest city park. A residence known as the Victor Trevitt house and a monument commemorating the end of the Oregon Trail are located in the park. The encompassed area connects all the extant significant resources in the core of The Dalles dating from the historic period, 1860 to 1945.

Architectural StylesThe District contains a variety of architectural styles, but those commonly found in a late 19th to early 20th century downtown are well represented. This includes Italianate, Renaissance Revival, Colonial Revival, English and Italian Renaissance, Classical, Moderne, Dutch Colonial Revival, Gothic Revival, and one Mission Style building that has Moorish style influences*

The dominant exterior building material is brick, with attendant decorative materials of the various styles, Including cast iron, and ornamental sheet metal and wood. The secondary period of significance begins to display stone and terra cotta materials as well as standard brick. Much of the brick used in the construction came from The Dalles brickyard (south of the commercial center). The buildings range from fair to excellent condition.

The greatest intrusions into the historic quality of The Dalles have been public projects, especially transportation projects. Private action, with the intent of favorable development and economic expansion, has led to demolition of some significant buildings. This is evident in the number of newer bank buildings in the District. Most of the alterations to the commercial buildings have occurred to the first story storefront. The civic and governmental buildings have sustained less alterations.

OrdinancesThe Dalles City Council approved an ordinance relating to historic districts, buildings and sites in June of 1970, and through a series of amendments as recently as September 1994, maintains a strong commitment to the preservation

NFS Form 10-»00-« OMB Apptovti No. 1024-0018 (8-86)




of historically significant buildings and sites. The ordinance establishes a special landmarks commission, a procedure for designation of historical buildings and sites, and special controls instituted to preserve the appropriate atmosphere and harmonious appearance of such buildings and sites. Design guidelines that pertain to The Dalles Commercial Historic District and Trevitt's Addition Historic District were also adopted by the City Council in 1996. The classification system for resources within the boundaries of the nominated district is based on the building date, architectural style, condition, and the impact of alterations.

Previous Historic ListingsThirty-eight buildings in The Dalles Commercial District are listed in the Oregon Inventory of Historic Properties Survey which was completed in The Dalles in 1976 and 1984-85. These properties are signified by property description under "Previous Historic Listing".

There are three (3) properties previously listed in the National Register of Historic Places in The Dalles Commercial Historic District. The following buildings were listed in the National Register prior to the listing of the District: The Dalles Carnegie Library (1978); The Dalles Civic Auditorium (1978); and The United States Post Office (1985). After The Dalles Commercial Historic District was listed in the National Register in 1986, the City of The Dalles designated the entire District as a local landmark (1993).

The Dalles Commercial Historic District (1997 Update)The Dalles Commercial Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 1997, an update of the District was funded and the project began in April, 1997. The purpose of the project was to update the architectural information and to re-evaluate the classifications of the resources. Some of the resources previously listed as Historic Non- Contributing were re-classified as Contributing resources because of rehabilitation efforts that have occurred over the last 10 years. New historic information was also added and some of the construction dates changed as a result of additional historic information. The period of significance was also adjusted to include the resources built during the late 1930s to 1945 and also the beginning date was adjusted as a result of new historic information. A list of the resources that have changed rankings as a result of this study can be found in Section 7, Page 10-B.

NPS Fwm 10-000-* - OMB Appmvtl No. 1(04-0018 (8-80)




Classification of Properties (1997)The classification of Contributing and Non-Contributing properties within The Dalles Commercial Historic District is based on a number of considerations including building style, type, number of alterations, building material, massing, setbacks, and the historic development of the District.

1) Primary Significant; Resources in this classification were built between 1860 and 1899, and reflect the building styles of that time. These resources represent the primary period of construction prior to and after 1891 the date of the worst of many fires in the commercial area of The Dalles, and a period of economic and development slowdown.

2) Secondary Significant: Resources in this classification were built between 1900 and 1945. These resources represent a resurgence of building and economic and development growth in the commercial and other areas of The Dalles, and .the resources constructed during the Depression and WWII.

3) Historic Non-Contributing: Buildings in this classification were built during either the Primary or Secondary Periods of Significance, but have been so altered that their historic and architectural character have been lost to view. If these elements were restored, these resources may qualify for reclassification as Primary or Secondary resources.

4) Compatible Non-Contributing: Resources in this classification were built after 1945, but are compatible architecturally or in their use with the historic character of the district and its significant buildings. Some of the resources, however, date from the historic period but have undergone such extensive alterations that they reflect a modern building style and type.

5) Non-Compatible Non-Contributing; Resources in this classification were built after 1945 and are not compatible architecturally with the significant buildings and historic character of the district.

6) Vacant; Properties in this classification have no buildings on them.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The park is located between basalt outcroppings typical of the locale on the north and at what would be Seventh Street on the south. The eastern edge of the park, along Union Street, is the principal entrance and has a concrete retaining wall with concrete stairway leading into the park. The western edge is at the terminus of Sixth Street. A random rubble basalt rock wall lines the southern boundary of the park. Regularly spaced elm and locust trees, planted in the early 1900s, are now 18" in caliper and many remain in the original pattern. Asphalt sidewalks extend north-south through the park. A playground and picnic tables are also in the park.

In the center of the park there is an octagonal cast iron drinking fountain, made by the Murdock Manufacturing and Supply Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The drinking fountain was installed in the early 1900s, the same time the trees were planted. The Trevitt House and the Oregon Trail Marker are also in the park but are counted as separate features in the district.

The restroom, located near the major entrance to the park on Union Street, is constructed of concrete block with a tongue and groove wood frame gable roof covered with metal roofing. The square building has three metal entrance doors on the north side. The restrooms, built in 1982, are in fair condition and are .

Inclusion of the park within the district boundaries is justified because the park is the earliest civic improvement of its type in The Dalles, and thus related to the sub-theme of local governmental development.

HISTORICAL DATA: In 1899, The Dalles enacted an ordinance establishing a municipal park. The park was sited along Union Street at the foot of Sixth Street, well removed from the recreational diversions offered by the river. The property containing the park had been given to the City as a land grant, and the original use of the land is thought to have been for educational purposes.

By the early twentieth century, two derelict structures stood on the property. Soon after, a large covered Chautauqua was built for touring companies offering cultural programs. One of the speakers who came to The Dalles was the famous orator William Jennings Bryan. The park still serves as one of the City's public parks.

In 1906, Meeker began the first of several transcontinental journeys retracing his original route. A monument was left by Meeker marking his 1906 passage through The Dalles; he returned by oxcart again in 1910; traveled over most of the route later by automobile in 1916; and completed his final journey at the age of 94, when he approximated the route by airplane.

The building was moved to its current location from a site on Third Street in 1981. The concrete steps and foundation were constructed at that time. A new wood shingle roof was installed in 1996.

HISTORICAL DATA: There is conflicting research as to whether Victor Trevitt occupied this house. The house is nonetheless worthy as a locally rare example of its architectural style.

Victor Trevitt (1827-1883) laid out a portion of The Dalles townsite known as Trevitt's Addition in c. ;1860, Trevitt came to The Dalles in 1854 and filed a donation land claim onJune 18* 1655 about 15 miles southeast of the present downtown. He also ran the Trevitt and Crown Saloon. Trevitt was elected state representative to the legislature in 1858 and appointed a member of The Dalles City Council in 1859. He also served as a state senator from 1868 to 1872.

According to local historian Lulu Crandall (deceased), Victor Trevitt lived at 507 West Third Street until 1868 when he sold the property. This was the same year he started serving as a Wasco County Senator. It is not known where Victor Trevitt lived after he moved from West Third. Some long-time residence state that the house know located in the City Park was Victor Trevitt's residence.

According to the deed research, the lot where the house was located before being moved to the park, was only owned by Victor Trevitt for a short period of time. From 1861 to 1868, Trevitt slowly sold off all the lots in Block 1 of Trevitt's Addition. This block included the house now located in the City Park. Although not a owner, Trevitt, may have rented the house.

NP3 Form 10-000* . OMB AffmxMl No. 1024-4018 (8-88)




offered $500 towards the construction of a church provided the citizens of The Dalles could match his gift. The Bishop was successful in his endeavor, and a cornerstone for the sanctuary was laid personally by Bishop Morris on May 28, 1875. The contractor was Charles Kron. The initial service was held in the church on Christmas 1875 and in the following January, the furniture was installed in the chapel. Over the next three years, Nevius conducted 63 services for the congregation.

NPS Form 10-900* - OMB Approvd No. 10S4-Q018 (8-80)




Under the leadership of its second minister, the Rev. Thomas Condon (1822-1927), educator and "father of Oregon geology", the congregation built their first church in 1863, at a cost of $1000. Condon led the church into the 1870s and later became "Oregon's foremost geologist and paleontologist." When Condon resigned as minister, there were 97 members in the church.

Fire destroyed the church on September 2, 1888 and for several months services were held in the Wasco County Courthouse. A new location was then purchased and donated (Nov. 12, 1885) by Judge O.S. Savage, and on July 27, 1889 a new church building dedicated. This church lasted only two years before it was destroyed by the disastrous fire in 1891 (along with much of the business district). In 1892, a $12,000 church was built. This structure remained for 43 years until 1935 when it was destroyed by fire.

The present church building, was dedicated on February 14, 1937, with Rev. Robert A. Hutchinson as minister. A Christian education wing and church offices, in a compatible concrete structure, were added in 1955, under the leadership of Rev. John Langenes. The congregation has been affiliated with the United Church of Christ since 1957.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: One of the most imposing structures in The Dalles, the third Wasco County Courthouse is an excellent example of a Classic Revival governmental building. The prominence of the building attests to the wealth of Wasco County in the second decade of the 20th century.

The courthouse is a rectangular, three-story brick building with basement. The principle elevation (east) is organized with three projecting two-story bays. The exterior material is primarily white brick set on a smooth-face coursed ashlar granite foundation. The window surround detailing, colossal columns, and parapet wall coping are also granite.

Two side projections flanking the entrance have primary windows that are tripartite, oneover one double-hung wood sash. The second floor windows have decorative label moldings with scroll keystones; the first floor windows are capped with triangular pedimented window heads.

The central projecting bay on the east elevation, with a long entrance stairway of granite, rises to the pedimented entrance door. The entrance is flanked by paired, fluted colossal columns, of the Corinthian order. The entrance pediment has decorative scrolls at each end and mid-point, supporting the decorative foliate triangular pediment. Above the entrance door is the second floor window type, with sidelights, transoms, and scroll keystones.

The colossal columns support the entablature carved with the Wasco County Courthouse name, and a cornice of dentils, block modillions, and moldings. The parapet wall above is plain at the two side projecting bays, with recessed square plain panels flanking a central cartouche at the central projecting bay of the main entrance.

Other elevations, although simpler, are organized in three non- projecting bays, with colossal columns flanked by first and second floor window types found on the east elevation. The interior is finished in marble and oak woodwork.

A compatible elevator addition in the middle of the rear (west) elevation was constructed in 1992-93 with--a matching grant from the State Historic Preservation Office.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The Dalles Medical Arts Building (Hamilton Hospital) is a three-story brick building, covered with colored particles of rock and quartz stucco exterior finish. Rectangular in plan, measuring 50'x 35', the building has a basement, concrete foundation, and is of wood frame construction. The built-up roof is flat.

The primary window type, with the exception of the altered basement aluminum windows, is one over one double-hung wood sash. Windows are regularly spaced deeply set and are arranged five in a row on the second and third floors.

Exterior decorative elements include rusticated brick quoins, pedimented portico, and a brick cornice below the stepped parapet wall. This building has elements of the Georgian style. A breezeway on the rear (east) elevation is physically attached to an adjacent house (in a compatible manner), connecting both structures. A non-compatible fourth story roof addition (clad with metal siding) as been added between the house and medical building (1983).

The main (west) elevation has a triangular pedimented entrance, flanked by two windows on each side. Brick rusticated pilasters frame the entrance which has been altered by the installation of an aluminum door. The building is in good condition.

HISTORICAL DATA: The hospital was built by the Hamilton Bros, in 1923 with elements of the Classical/Georgian style. One of the founders of the hospital, Dr. Vern Hamilton, sold his half interest to associates, Drs. W.N. Morse and A.B. Stone in 1927. After the sale, Hamilton and his wife left The Dalles to pursue post-graduate work in Chicago, and at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota.

Known briefly as the Morse and Stone Clinic, the hospital was renamed the Mid-Columbia Hospital as a result of a prize contest conducted by

NFS Form 10-000* OMB Appmvtl No. 1024-4018 (8-8fl)




the new owners. Dr. Alvin left the practice in 1933 and Morse recruited his brother-in-law, Dr. Leo Moore, into partnership.

The building served as a hospital until 1973 when federal regulations gradual caused the clinic to close. Offices, however, were maintained on the first floor. In 1979, the building was remodeled and opened for use as a clinic even after the Mid-Columbia Hospital was erected at the edge of town. The hospital is important historically as a singular representative example of the early development of The Dalles medical profession.

AUXILIARY BUILDING: Historic Non-ContributingThe two-story, Vernacular Queen Anne residence was built c. 1894 and in 1923 it became part of the adjacent (west) medical center. The house has a gable roof, shiplap siding finished with cornerboards, a wide frieze, and overhanging eaves. A double bay window is in the center of the front (south) elevation and has one over one double-hung wood sash windows. A band of decorative shingles separates the upper and lower bays. The building has a raised basement; the top of the foundation is finished with a watertable and cap.

The former residence is attached to the adjacent Medical Arts Building to the west. Steps lead to the entrance and are covered with a newer flat roof. A wheel chair ramp has been added to the front of the house that leads to the * basement. The ramp is bordered by a concrete retaining wall on the south. A fire escape is on the east side of the building.

A parking lot is located to the east and an alley to the north. Dense planting obscures a portion of the east elevation of the house. The building is in good condition.

The house was built c. 1894 for Judge William Bradsaw who served as Circuit Court Judge in the early 1900s. The house became part of the medical facilities when the center was built in 1923. The house serves as office space and clinic space for the medical clinic.

NPS Form 10-000-a OMB Appntvtl No. 1024-0018 (8-88)




Between the pilasters are pairs of three panel doors at the ground floor with single pane glass transoms above. The second and third floor windows are six over six double-hung, or twelve-light windows. Some of the windows have been boarded up.

The minor (east) elevation has similar windows and door openings. There is a continuous rowlock brick course below the attic windows, which are paired in line with and above the larger windows below. The windows are six over six double hung wood sash. The lintels are comprised of a soldier coursing of brick. A steel fire escape is on the east elevation.

The north elevation is stuccoed with a random window pattern. The west elevation is a large wall finished with stucco. There are few windows on this elevation; some of the windows have been enclosed. A parking lot is west of the building.

Interior rooms include the lobby, seating for 1000, and a stage. The Fireside Room adjoins the auditorium. The gymnasium has steel roof beams, evidence of an early steel construction type.

A plaque on the southeast corner of the building says "Erected in Honor of the World War Veterans of The Dalles and Wasco County". The granite cornerstone, also in the southeast corner says, "Auditorium MCMXXI P.J. Stadelman, Mayor Plans Committee W.J. Seufert, Chairman H.S. Rice A.W. Manchester P.F. Thompson B.C. Olinger Houghtaling and Dougan Archts Rob't Paysee Contractor".

HISTORICAL DATA: The Civic Auditorium was built in 1921 as a result of a large community effort, especially the American Legion, who worked hard for the passage of a $125,000 bond measure for financing. The local athletic and arts community were instrumental in raising community support for the project.

The City of The Dalles purchased the lot for $11,000 on March 7, 1921 from William Riley, the site of the former livery station. In May, 1921, architects Houghtaling and Dougan were awarded the contract (firm was formed in 1914 to 1925). The firm designed many prominent buildings in Portland, Salem, and in The Dalles.

The Auditorium was dedicated to World War I Veterans of The Dalles and of Wasco County in June, 1921. P.J. Stadelman, the mayor, spoke at the

NFS Form 10-flOO-a OMB Appro** No. 1024-0018 (B-88)




dedication ceremony. The new Civic Auditorium contained a gymnasium with a balcony, a ball room with a suspended dance floor, a community room for meetings with a stone fireplace, wood trim, and wood pillars, and a theater for road shows and music. Many plays were performed in the theater. After the decline of traveling shows, the auditorium was developed into a movie theater. Over the years, the auditorium has been used by a variety of groups.

In 1978, the Civic Auditorium was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In the 1980s, citizens concerned about the deteriorating condition of the building started raising money for repair work. The roof and gutter were repaired at this time. In 1992, the Civic Auditorium Historic Preservation Committee bought the building from the City. The building is currently (1997) undergoing restoration.

ALTERATIONS: The major alteration to the Courthouse was the addition of a room on the east elevation, porch, and driveway. Owners of the Smith Callaway Chapel completed the remodeling in 1958. The designer responsible for the work was Leonard Smith. Another concrete addition was added on the northwest corner of the building on the .second floor. A wooden staircase leads to the addition.

HISTORICAL DATA: The lot for the second Wasco County Courthouse was purchased from C. Kron on March 21, 1882 at a cost of $2,754. This courthouse, replacing an earlier courthouse, was built by contractor N.J. Blagen in 1883 for a cost of $23,000. The courthouse was designed by Warren H. Williams of Portland, a leading Oregon architect of the day.

The two-story building included the county offices on the first floor, jail in the rear, and a large court room on the second floor. It had a full basement and was heated by warm air wood burning furnace. The belfry contained the town clock and was completed after the building was finished at a cost of $1000. The brick came from the J.H. Blakeney brickyard (Brickyard Road next to the Odd Fellows cemetery). The Blakeney brickyard made most of the brick for the permanent brick structures of that period.

After the third County Courthouse was constructed in 1912-14, the building was purchased by the Knights of Pythias as a lodge hall. In 1929, the Masons purchased the building. The Masonic Lodge, Wasco Lodge No. 15, was organized March 28, 1857. Its charter was issued on June 8, 1857. The Lodge first met in the second floor of the H.P. Isaacs store. Later the Lodge occupied the second story of Gates Hall at Second and Court streets. Eventually, the Masons moved to the second story of the Waldron Drug Store on First Street.

'¥

Prior to 1926, the first floor of the courthouse was remodeled for use as a mortuary. In 1948, Ben Callaway and his mother, Mrs. C.R. Callaway, sold the mortuary business to Leonard Smith. The building still functions as the Masonic Hall and mortuary (1997).

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The Gates Hotel is a two-story red brick building, of running bond with a rectangular plan measuring 40'x 100'. The main (south) elevation ground floor has been altered. In 1977, a one-story, concrete block addition was made to the east elevation. The 26'x 80' addition did not cover any doors, windows or architectural detailing.

The second floor has four, one over one double-hung wood sash windows set in regularly spaced, semi-elliptical hooded arched bays with keystones. The roof is a built-up and flat. The west elevation has similar windows, except for the last bay in the north end which is framed by ground to roof continuous pilasters. The second floor windows on the west elevation have elliptical radiating brick voussoirs.

The second floor of the main elevation retains the brick pilasters that once flanked the entrance to the second floor. Some evidence of this element remains on the first floor. The brick cornice is corbelled by six courses. The building, although altered on the ground floor is in very good condition. A mural on the east elevation depicts the "End of the Oregon Trail".

HISTORICAL DATA: Colonel Ned H. Gates arrived in The Dalles in 1854 and subsequently staked a Donation Land Claim on property now known as the Gates Addition. Gates came to the The Dalles from California where he practiced law in the area of the gold fields. Earlier, he had received his commission in the Mexican War of 1846-48. After working in California, Gates briefly returned to the east, but came west again in 1852. He moved to The Dalles in 1854 and worked as a lawyer and carpenter.

NFS Fonfl IO-900-a ' 0MB Appro* No. 1004-0011 (8-88)




Gates became active in the organization of The Dalles, surveying streets and lots in the downtown area. He acquired the title "Father of The Dalles" after he drafted the City's charter that he presented to the Oregon Territorial Legislature; it was adopted on June 8, 1857. Gates was also speaker of the House of Representatives in 1859. The Colonel served in the Yakima Indian War in the 1850s. In 1871 and 1877-78, Gates served as mayor of The Dalles.

N.H. Gates purchased the parcel on November 27, 1882 (Deed Bk. H, p. 359) from Margaret Nelan. Gates started construction of the building in 1884. The 1884 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map indicates that the building was "incomplete as of July 1884". The 1889 map shows a book and stationary store, the Post Office, and a grocery were located in the building. It also indicated that it was used as a dwelling and had rooms upstairs (Gates Hotel).

By 1892, the building was used as a hotel with furnished rooms and was called the "Gates' Building" and by 1900, the first floor was used as a store and the second floor used as a hotel. The building again switched occupants: in 1909 the structure had a grocery store on the first floor with offices in the back. The map also indicates that the building once had a one-story porch across the west elevation; the porch was removed prior to 1926.

The hotel remained in the Gates' family until April, 1926. At that time, Kate Gates Woodard (daughter of N.H. Gates) sold the building to Levi Christman. The 1926 maps show the first floor occupied by a sausage factory and a second hand store. The building has had various uses over the years. Hudson Insurance, the current occupants (1997), moved into the building in 1974.

Interior offices, including those of the mayor and city council chambers, are located on the second floor. The police department occupies part of the first floor, but the jail is no longer in the basement- The firehouse portion of the structure is located on the south elevation. At a point to the west of the entrance door to the fire fighter's quarters is a replica of an insurance company's mark, assuring fire protection for the property. An interior elevator with ADA access was added in 1993. Gutter and flashing repair on the roof was also completed in 1993. The front doors on the east elevation were replaced with compatible double doors in 1997.

HISTORICAL DATA: The City Hall was built in 1908 on the site of the first Wasco County Courthouse at a cost of §30,000-$40,000, which included the steam heat. The architect was Charles J. Crandall of The Dalles and the contractor was R.D. Maxon of The Dalles. The stone mason who worked on the basalt foundation was L. Comini. Comini laid the cornerstone, weighing almost a ton. It was inscribed "A.D. 1908".

Originally, the building housed the offices for the engineer, recorder, mayor, police chief, and accommodations for the fire department. The fire department facilities included an engine room, four stalls for the horses, feed supply room, house-keeping, sleeping, meeting, and reading

rooms. A jail with three cells was located in the basement. The city council chamber was on the second floor and was finished with golden oak complete with desks for all the council members. The local paper stated that the "handsome city hall", upon completion, will be one of the "finest in the state outside of Portland. It is a modern, well-built structure in every detail". The building still serves as The Dalles City Hall (1997).

hexagonal tiles are white with black and white square tiles. The transom is comprised of wavy glass with leaded glass mullions. Some of the other bays have original wooden bulkheads with recessed panels and wooden storefront windows.

Windows on the second and third floors are one over one double-hung wood sash, and are paired in square bays with stone sills and decorative tile banding in the window spandrel area. The window bays are paired between pilasters, with decorative plaster capitals from the ground to the frieze. Fourth floor windows are similar but with a decorative Union Jack transom grill above the double-hung window. The cornice has been removed. A fire escape is on the eastern edge of the south elevation.

The building, one of the tallest in The Dalles, is also the largest commercial-residential structure. The building is in good condition on the exterior. A fire in 1995 damaged the interior of the structure. The building is in fair condition.

HISTORICAL DATA: On April 5, 1909, the Masons decided to expand their fraternal building and received a $45,000 loan from the firm of Halfour, Guthrie, and Company in Portland. The old building was torn down, and the construction of the new building began. The architect was R.N. Hokenberry of Portland (The Optimist, 24 February 1910).

The structure was built on the site of an 1881 Masonic Lodge. The lodge then built this structure in 1910; the building opened in 1911. The first floor was divided into several storefronts, the second floor was offices, the third and fourth floors occupied by the Masonic Lodge. The upper floors contained a lodge hall, banquet room, ball room, and kitchen.

In 1915, the Masons deeded the building to French and*Co. because the rental income was not sufficient enough to meet the loan payments and building costs. The office space on the second and third floors was converted to apartments, with the fourth floor lodge hall used for dances and other public gatherings.

In 1920, French and Company completed the conversion of the upper three floors to residential use and opened the first apartment house in The Dalles; the 57 unit Court Street Apartments. The architect was E.G. Price. The apartment was hailed as "the finest and most up-to-date apartment houses in the state" (The Dalles Chronicle, 25 Febr. 1920). The new apartment building relieved the housing shortage in The Dalles.

NPS Form 10-90O* OMB Approval No. t<tt4-C018 (8-88)




"No expense was spared. All of the most modern conveniences were included. From beautiful dull copper doors at the entrance to the building to the completely equipped laundry room in the basement, the idea of a modern apartment building was carried out to the last letter" (The Dalles Chronicle, 25 Febr. 1920).

In 1922, the French and Co. Bank (owners of apartment) closed and the Oregon superintendent of banks administered its affairs. On February 21, 1927, the bank official sold the property to Brugman Lumber Company in Portland for $83,700. The new company changed the name of the apartments to the Commodore Apartments.

The lumber company sold the apartment building on July 10, 1937 to the Oregon-Washington Investment Company (Louise Kliks, Charles Taff and Dorothy Kliks). The investment company transferred the building to B.A. and Louise Kliks in July 1945. The Kliks owned the building until 1988 when it was sold to Jim Lafky. The building is currently vacant.

The building is significant as is represents the first large scale apartment building constructed in The Dalles. It also is significant for its association with the Masonic Lodge.

HISTORICAL DATA: This parcel of land was the original site of the Vogt Opera House and other businesses. The 1909 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map indicates that the opera house, a skating rink, and another commercial building are located on the land now occupied by the present structure. By 1926, much of the block had been rebuilt; the skating rink was altered for use as a auto garage, the opera house removed and a auto repair and storage business built, and a small furniture warehouse constructed.

The former Vogt Opera House was constructed by Maximillian Vogt following a fire in 1888. It was. noted in the January^ 1, 1389 Times- Mountaineer that Vogt "had two brick buildings under construction - These included a building at Second and Federal streets in the Vogt Block and an elegant theater at Third and Washington streets". The theater, which featured traveling shows on its stage, housed the city band in its orchestra pit. This structure burned in 1891, and was replaced by another building the same year.

Maximillian and Frank Vogt was a general merchant and operated his major retail outlet with his sister, Philippine (Vogt) Chapman. The building was completely remodeled in the 1960s to the current configuration.

The windows were one over one double-hung wood sash: the windows have been boarded over.

HISTORICAL DATA: The Sanborn Fire Insurance Map indicates that the building was most likely built around 1910. In 1909, it appears that the site was cleared of a previous building and the present building constructed by 1910. The site was owned by Ursula Rush from the 1870s to 1946 when it was sold to James McHale.

Former tenants of the building included Petersens Floor Covering, The Dalles Meat Market and Grocery, and one of the earliest tenants from 1920, McHale's Grocery. In the early 1950s, openings were cut through the interior walls separating McHale's and the adjoining market and drug store to the west respectively. For a time, the combined shopping was promoted as the first shopping center in The Dalles.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The Kelly Building is a small one-story, rectangular building. The dominant exterior material on the main (north) elevation is a rough cut coursed ashlar basalt, terminating in an irregular parapet wall line, with a carved date block of 1914. A steel lintel defines the top of the transoms which have been boarded over. The storefront windows and doors are composed of aluminum frames. Newer planter boxes made of stone are under the storefront windows. The side walls and rear elevation are brick covered with stucco. The building is in good condition and is one of few stone buildings in the District.

HISTORICAL DATA: Raymond Kelly purchased property c. 1914 from Katie Being. The building was constructed by stone mason Louie Comini (1864- 1958) for use as a carved stone monument shop. By 1926, a cobbler and barber occupied the building. The Kelly family sold the building in 1963 to John Milne.

Louie Comini (Stone Mason): Born the son of a stone mason in Genoa, Italy, and thereby following that trade, Louie Comini apprenticed both as a priest and as a stone mason at a Catholic monastery near Genoa. Comini left the monastery to join the Italian navy, where his travels led to Wilmington, Delaware's ports in South America; San Francisco; and finally to Portland, Oregon. Louie was joined in San Francisco by his brother John, also a stone mason.

.ifBoth Louie and John worked on the construction of Cascade Locks, where their skill as stone masons came to the attention of Father Bronsky, Catholic priest of The Dalles parish. Faced with the unsatisfactory work of Watts & Son, monument makers and Protestants, Father Bronsky supplied a patronage and stipend to Louie Comini to re-settle in The Dalles and offer his services as a monument maker to the members of Father Bronsky's parish. Louie Comini accepted, and after brief periods at other locations, built the current building.

NPS Form 10-MO4 * OMB Apptovul No. 1024-COIS (8-8C)




Comini' s work as a stone mason is found on St. Peter' s Church and The Dalles City Hall. Comini was required to remove his name from the City Hall cornerstone, however, and the otherwise polished face still shows where the name was located. One of Louie Comini's sons, Alan, continued in the family business after his father's death.

The building is an excellent example of a small scale stone structure built by master stonemason, Louie Comini of The Dalles (originally from Italy).

The building has a flat roof with no cornice. Six raised fluted pilasters, constructed of concrete, separate the upper story windows. The multi-pane metal windows are recessed slightly from the building face. The first floor has been altered by the installation of travertine marble over the bulkhead. The entrance is recessed. The building is in good condition and represents one of the few buildings designed with elements of the Moderne Style.

HISTORICAL DATA: The Wingate & Williams store has been a major retail outlet in the commercial center of The Dalles for over 100 years. The building reflects the continuing association with the commercial center for that period.

Founded by Edward Wingate in 1869, the store sold hardware and general merchandise, furnishing supplies for the gold rush to the east as far as Idaho. In about 1862, Wingate was joined by Griffith Williams as a partner.

NP8 Font) 10-SOO-a OMB Approvti No. 1024-4018 (8-88)




In 1891, the store expanded with a 50' addition of frontage, and the store became more specialized as a dry goods outlet. Partners Wingate and Williams (incorporated 1901), in addition to their general merchandise store, were instrumental in founding The Dalles First National Bank. After Wingate's death in 1884, Williams continued the business, and expanded into general merchandising. Williams died on March 6, 1886.

Under the new ownership of Anna M. Williams and the management of her son, Edward M. , the company started the Walther-Williams Hardware Company in 1901. The firm offered wholesale and retail hardware, wagons and farm machinery; and later became one of the earliest automobile dealerships in Oregon. The store was remodeled with elements of the Moderne style in 1938.

A.M. Williams sold the retail businesses to Idaho Department Stores in 1956. When Idaho did not renew its lease in 1972, Sugg and Don Williams formed "Williams 1870 Store" to continue operations. Williams 1870 continued to serve The Dalles until 1984 when the long established business closed its doors. Hampton Furniture store is currently located in the building.

HISTORICAL DATA: The Dalles Post Office was the first federal building constructed in the city of The Dalles, and one of nine constructed in the State of Oregon, between 1910 and 1920. It is one of the two remaining postal facilities in the state from this era administered and operated by the U.S. Postal Service. As with most all its .counterparts, the building was constructed from standardized plans under the direction of Supervising architect Oscar Wenderoth.

The previous Post. Office burned in August, 1914 and in February, 1915, George Isackson of Portland was awarded the contract to erect the building at a cost of $73,978. By March, ground had been broken for the new Post Office. By July, 1916, the new federal Post Office was open for business with prominent politicians and citizen attending the open house. 'if

The Post Office represents an outstanding example of early 20th Century federal construction in the Classical style. The use of the colonnade fronting the recessed entry section is the sole example of such use in post office construction in the State of Oregon (and one of two such examples in northwest post office construction, the other in Vancouver, Washington, 1916).

HISTORICAL DATA: The Schanno Building was constructed c. 1892 after a fire destroyed many of the downtown buildings in 1891. The lower floor of the new two-story brick building was occupied by the S.& N. Harris merchandise store, and the Hayter and Williams Cigar Store for many years. The upper floor contained the Columbia River and Northern Railway Freight and ticket office, and the law firm of Bennett and Sinnot. The upper floor also served as an armory for the 3rd Regiment of the Oregon National Guard.

Alfred S. Bennett, later a judge, built his Queen Anne home on the east bank of nearby Mill Creek in 1899, a well maintained structure that still stands. Bennett's partner, Nicholas J. Sinnott, the son of Nicholas B., served as U.S. Representative from the 2nd Congressional District from 1912 to 1928.

NPS Form 10-tOO-a OMB Affmvtl Ho. HO4-OOI8




sound and was 'equipped with Vitaphone and Movietone, the only machines for the talkies that can handle all of the big new productions,' according to a 1929 The Dalles Chronicle article.

Built by M.R. Matthew, the Granada was under a long-term lease for operation to Guy E. Matthew and J.T. Moran. The theater was built according to plans prepared by William Cutts, a Portland architect. Cutts was identified as an architect who specialized "in work of this kind." He designed more than 60 theaters for the Universal Film Corporation. The building plans called for a baby room for separate viewing by mothers with babies so as to not disturb other patrons, an enclosed loge section, and a well-appointed reception room.

The Granada Theater was located in the vicinity of the Empress Theater and the Grand Theater in the same block. Earlier occupants of the same block included the Theodore Prinz and Joseph Nitschke furniture manufacturers; the Northwest Book and Specialty Company; and the George Newhouse Jewelers.

Restoration of the Granada Theater started in 1993 when the current owners purchased the building. The Granada opened once again in all its grandeur in April, 1996.

conduct of their mercantile business, money brokerage, and finally the French and Company Bank.

Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps indicate that in 1884, a spring mattress shop was located in the building and in 1889 a harness shop. In 1892, after the 1891 downtown fire, the store was occupied by a fancy (notions) and clothing store, most likely operated by I.C. Nickelsen.

Ingwert C. Nickelsen, founded his book and music store on First Street in 1870, and by 1883 he moved his business to a Second Street address. Nickelson was born in Germany in 1842, and came to The Dalles via New York in 1867. The business of I.C. Nickelsen was featured as one of the leading business firms of The Dalles in the 1883 Dalles City Directory and described as "one of the leading establishments of the kind in the Inland Empire. Every department is well stocked with the best of goods,...and in toys, fancy goods and Yankee notions, he has an immense variety, from which suitable selections can be made. In the book and stationary department he is not to be outdone by any, as his stock is complete. He has on hand all the text-books used in the public schools and the academies. He is also the agent for several well-known libraries". Nickelsen retired in 1922 and sold the business to his son- in-law Ernest Cramer.

The French and Co. Bank went into receivership in 1922 (still owners of the building), and the building was purchased by P.J. Stadelman in about 1925. In 1927, the Weigelt brothers purchased the property and carried on the book store business. The book store was operated by the Weigelt family for over fifty years and in June 1981, the business was purchased by Phillip and Linda Klindt. The bookstore is the oldest business in The Dalles that has been in continuous operation.

brick patterned walls, window surrounds, and pilasters. The upper floor detailing is crisp and the entire building appears to be in good condition.

The second floor windows are intact examples of the Chicago Style tripartite windows on the principal elevations (south and east elevations). The first floor windows on the Federal Street (east) elevation have been stuccoed in and a mural depicting a Native American scene covers the elevation (painting not painted directly on building, 1993).

The first floor storefronts have been altered by new windows, doors and bulkheads. A corrugated metal awning on the north elevation covers the transoms on the first floor. A brick wall projects above the roof which was apparently used as a sign wall. Original iron clad shutters, an arched door, and a garage door are on the rear elevation.

HISTORICAL DATA: The first building at this location was damaged by the fire of 1891, the building was part of the Daniel M. and Joshua W. French properties on Second Street, as the location of their mercantile business. This business was sold to Brooks and McFarland in 1875, later becoming McFarland and French. The French in this case was another brother, Smith French, who came to The Dalles in 1877. This business was the predecessor of the Edward C. Pease Company.

Edward C. Pease, a prominent pioneer merchant of The Dalles, was born in San Francisco (1860). He came to Portland in 1882 during the construction of the railroad and moved to The Dalles in 1884 to work as a clerk for McFarland & French Mercantile Company. In 1891, he became associated with Robert Mays. Pease and May formed a partnership (bought out McFarland & French) until May retired in 1900. 'if

On June 5, 1911, the heirs of Robert Mays deeded the property to Edward Pease and Company. Pease built a large new building on the corner of Federal and First streets and continued his merchandising business. Pease also opened a store in Shaniko, Oregon after the completion of the Columbia Southern Railroad. Pease was a member of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education, and Honorary President of the Wasco Pioneers' Association. He was also instrumental in promoting the construction of the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. Pease's wife, Edna Pease Pratt, sold the store and building in 1961 to Kenneth and Helen Kortge.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The IOOF Hall is a two-story rectangular, brick building measuring 50 f x 120'. The brickwork is richly detailed, including corner quoins, window surrounds in addition to the running bond of the brick walls. A brick corbelled dripcourse defines the frieze which is under the brick and sheet metal cornice. An elevated name block extends above the center of the front (south) elevation. Brick quoins embellish the corners.

The windows on the second floor of the front elevation are composed of paired one over one double-hung wood sash windows with a fixed pane transom above. Some of the second story windows on the east elevation have been enclosed while others are one over one double-hung wood sash

with fixed transoms. Windows on the first floor are arched as are the door openings. The access door to the upstairs is at the north end of the east elevation. The double entrance doors are flanked by classical pilasters and entablature and a Union-Jack design is in the transom window over the doors. A fire escape on the east elevation leads to a second story exit.

The exterior material on the ground floor of the front elevation is composed of decorative stone on the pilaster bases and at the column capitals. The southeast corner of the main (south) elevation has a cornerstone dated 1904, but the Hall was rebuilt in 1915 as a result of a fire in 1914, in which the entire block burned. The building is in good condition.

HISTORICAL DATA: The I.O.O.F. was first noted in The Dalles on June 30, 1857, with six charter members. The first hall occupied by the I.O.O.F. was in the upper story a stone building at the corner of First and Union streets, next door to the Baldwin Brothers Saloon (205 Court Street). The I.O.O.F. were first incorporated in 1868. In 1889, a permanent home was secured in a wood frame building on the S.W. corner of Third and Washington streets which burned in the fire of 1891. The land was sold and in 1904 a committee was appointed to consider the building of a new hall.

Believing that the business section of The Dalles was destined to expand eastward, rather than south, the I.O.O.F. proceeded to buy a parcel of land on April 12, 1904 from J.H. Sherar. Construction of the $18,000 building started in 1905. Early users of the new building included the U.S. Post Office (until the completion of the new post office), J.C. Brill's Dry, and Willerton and Johnson Grocers.

However, on August 29, 1914, fire completely destroyed the building. Rebuilding started immediately and the building was completed in the spring of 1915. The new two-story brick building had ornate decorative detail and was one of the anchor structures in downtown.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Originally used as a store on the ground floor with residences above, the Chinese Building is a small two-story red brick building, rectangular in plan with a flat, built up roof. The main (north) elevation, now buried up to the second floor from the regrading of First Street, is organized into three bays with fixed, arched windows, divided vertically to the base of the arch. The doors are boarded over. The two brick course corbelled arches have a stretcher course surround.

The north elevation terminates with a stepped parapet, with a two brick course corbelled cap. Four eyebolts remain cast into the north elevation at the proper height for a canopy. The south elevation is two-story, as the grades are at or near the original elevation at the time of construction. Iron shutters and flat brick lintels remain on the windows, with some alteration of the ground floor door. Small multi-pane windows, boarded over, are located on the west elevation. The building is in very poor condition.

HISTORICAL DATA: The building is known locally as the Chinese building from its association with the Chinese in The Dalles and their businesses on First Street. The influx of the Chinese population occurred c. 1880 during the construction of the railroad.

A long time owner of the building was Bernard Wolf who owned the structure from 1877 to 1904 when it was sold to Esther Harris in 1904. An early tenant of the building was Mr. Chew Kee who operated a Chinese business. Another Chinese business, directly to the east, was operated by Mr. Doc Sing Wing Kee.

This building was used as a Chinese store and laundry house; the building was still being used by Chinese tenant on the 1926 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. Most other examples of Chinese business, along First Street, were destroyed by flood, fire, or regrading for First Street and the railroad.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The Baldwin Saloon is a single story stone and brick building, with a stone foundation and basement. The building is rectangular in plan. The north elevation on First Street has cast iron decoration, with medical symbols on the top of each cast iron pilaster, and with the 1876 date on this facade. The cast iron bears the foundry stamp of the Golden State Iron Works of San Francisco. The architectural cast iron of the facade is identical to that of the Ladd Building in Portland, demolished in 1940.

The double doors on the north elevation are tall and made of wood. An arched transom caps each door. Windows (tall eight pane), an entry door, and a wheel chair ramp have been added on the east (Court Street) elevation as well as a wall enclosing a courtyard. Stucco has been added over the brick on the east elevation. The building appears to be in good condition.

HISTORICAL DATA: Built as a restaurant, this building became a saloon operated by the Baldwin brothers, James and John about 1877. The brothers purchased the building from Joseph Elfelt who bought the property in 1863-64.

In 1883, James Baldwin lived in the Cosmopolitan Hotel across First Street, and John lived on Fourth. The Baldwin Saloon joined the Yellowstone Saloon in the same block to the west, the Owen Matthews Saloon across First Street, and the Barne Saloon one door to the west of that, and the Mickelbah Saloon across the alley to the south.

Later occupants of the building included Charlie Alien, who traveled about the countryside fitting and selling eyeglasses, and until his death signed himself Dr. Charlie Alien. Other uses included a steamboat office, a grain warehouse; and a warehouse for the storage of coffins for the nearby Callaway Mortuary. It was also used by the State of Oregon as a seasonal employment office.

The Baldwin family owned the building until the early 1940s. In 1962, Garth and Evelyn Bonney purchased the building and used it for a saddle shop known as the Bonney Saddle Shop. The Bonney family made and sold riding equipment. The building is currently (1997) used as a restaurant.

The Baldwin Saloon is one of the oldest commercial buildings in the District and is represents an early method of construction in its use of brick and stone.

V Two different construction techniques were used in the grain elevator construction: wood crib construction and a continuous pour concrete silo construction. The original wooden crib was constructed in 1942 when the use of lumber was restricted because of WWII. Lumber sales for use in construction of grain storage facilities, however, were permissible. The elevators were equipped with the newest types of conveyor belts, spreaders, scales, and other elevators equipment. The concrete silos were completed in 1945.

The original wooden elevator is a tall (65') one-story building on a concrete foundation. The rectangular plan measures 385' x 401', with

NFS Form 10-800-* - OMB Approval No. IO24-OOI8




sheet metal walls on a laminated wood structure on the earlier building. The lumber (3" by 12", 3" by 8", and 3" by 6") were stacked flat making walls 12", 8" and 6" thick. The roof is gabled with an industrial monitor almost full length. A conveyor belt connected the elevators to the Port docks so the grain could be loaded onto barges. A scale shed is located on the south side of the building.

The concrete silos addition to the east was constructed in 1945, adding another 368,000 bushels of storage (20 interior bins). Engineering drawings were completed by Edward F. Carter in March, 1945 and Mid-State Construction Company of The Dalles in cooperation with Henry George of Spokane erected the concrete structure. The elevator was built using a continuous concrete pour. After the forms were built, the concrete was poured into cylindrical forms. After the concrete was set, the form was then "slipped" upward, ready for the next pour. In 1977, three corrugated metal silos were constructed south of the original elevators.

The grain elevator is a distinctive building type associated with the agricultural commerce and trade of the area. The elevators are important as they show two distinct methods of construction that speak to the technology of the time.

HISTORICAL DATA: The Port of The Dalles Elevators or the Continental Grain Elevators were constructed in 1942 and 1945. Smaller grain elevators, usually "country elevators", were built in Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties in the early, 1900s and were generally constructed of wood. The need for larger capacity grain storage elevators arose in the late 1930s and early 1940s when there was an increase in wheat production due in part to W.W.II. In 1941, national marketing quotas were set for wheat which exceeded the normal domestic consumption and exporting by 35 percent. Other factors contributed to :the construction of large capacity bulk grain elevator. The Port of if the Dalles was trying to develop the waterfront and attract new businesses, especially after improvements to the river channels were made in the late 1930s and early 1940s. One of the most important developments to The Dalles waterfront was the construction of the Port Dock Buildings #1 and #2. These buildings were constructed through a Works Progress Administration program and were completed in 1936 (razed 1985). The dock buildings received, housed, and distributed the agricultural products sent to the region.

Prior to W.W.II, a large majority of the growers stored and transported their grain to warehouses in burlap sacks. In February 1942, farmers in

NPS F<xm 10-800-a . OMB Apptovtl No. IO&-COI9




Wasco County were told that burlap sacks-were not available because of the war. This precipitated a change from storing grain in sacks in warehouses to the storing grain in bulk elevators. Because of the lack of sacks, and the increased demand for grain storage facilities and grain production due to the war, the Port of The Dalles proposed the construction of a 500,000 bushel grain elevator in The Dalles in early 1942.

The Port of The Dalles proposed funding the construction of the elevators through a bond measure, then leasing the elevators to the Continental Grain company for a period 17 to 20 years. The revenue generated from the lease would be sufficient to retire the bond, and pay the interest, maintenance, and insurance costs. The bond measure passed by a two-to-one margin in April, 1942 and construction of the grain elevator began.

The elevator was designed by architect George Gilles and the contract was awarded to Hoganson Construction Company of Minneapolis. The contract amount for the construction was $135,000. In April 1942, construction began on the wooden crib elevator. The elevator was completed in early September 1942. The grain could be shipped by rail and barge.

The concrete silos addition to the east was constructed in 1945 and added another 368,000 bushel storage area. The concrete elevators were built by Mid-State Construction Company of The Dalles in cooperation with Henry L. George of Spokane, Washington. In 1977, three corrugated metal silos were constructed south of the 1942 elevator.

The grain elevator, a dominant building form, terminates the vista from most of the downtown north-south streets. The elevator location and presence recalls the importance of the river and Ijhe agricultural economy of The Dalles and the growth of the downtown immediately south.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The Waldron Drug Store building is a two- story, stone building with a rectangular plan. The stone used in the construction was quarried from a site near the Pioneer Cemetery, and laid in coursed ashlar, with tooled margin faces and fine flush joints. The narrow second floor, double-hung wood sash one over one windows in three bays are more than twice as high as wide.

The first floor of the main (south) elevation is almost all cast-iron except for the openings. Flush cast-iron voussoirs with cast-iron keystones crown the three flat arched bays. Stone quoins articulate the corners of the front elevation. The building has a cast-iron cornice with a semi-elliptical pediment and cast-iron coping. The pattern of the architectural cast iron used on the facade is similar to one used in Portland commercial buildings of the 1850s. The railroad tracks are directly south of the building.

Historically significant painted wall advertisments are on the east and west elevations of the building. The sign on the south end of the east elevation reads, "Regulator Line Steamers for Portland and Way Points Leave daily Except Sunday 7 A.M. One Block West". = The sign on the west side reads "OWL STORAGE M.A. Gunst & Co.". Theif structure is in poor condition.

HISTORICAL DATA: The building was erected c. 1867 by pharmacists Henry J. (1833-1878) and George W. Waldron (b. 1843) and was called the Waldron Bros. Drug Store. Henry Glint, a stone mason, was reportedly the mason responsible for the construction. The building was originally used as a drug store with offices above. Henry Waldron was also a postmaster at one time, so the post office was located here (he was also Wasco County treasurer in 1864). Henry died of overexertion in the 1878 city fire.

NFS Form 10-000* - OUB Appmvul Ho. tOH-OOtg (8-80)




The second floor was occupied from 1874 to 1881 by Wasco Lodge No. 15 of the A.F. and A.M. (Masons). In 1868, the newspaper "The Weekly" Mountaineer had their business in the building and Judge Joseph Wilson's law office and Drs. B.W. Mitchell and William Shackelford were also located in the structure at one time. G. W. Waldron had relocated his drug business with W. P. Covillaud to the corner of Court and Second streets by 1883 (1883 The Dalles City Directory).

Another early tenant was the Dalles, Portland, and Astoria Navigation Company who took over the used the building for a boat office. A painted sign on the east elevation advertises the steamship service to Portland.

According to the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, the building housed a paint store in 1884 and by 1889, the structure was in use as a feed warehouse. The Waldron building survived the fire of 1891 which claimed the neighboring Cosmopolitan Hotel, and the flood of June 6, 1894.

By the turn of the century, the building stood vacant. The 1926, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps indicate that a stage transfer station was located in the building. Later owners of the building include the Gitchell family who owned it from 1923 to c. 1938 and had the Gitchell Apartments in the structure. The Hyde family who owned the building from 1946-1978. The City of The Dalles currently owns the building.

Statement of SignificanceThe Dalles Commercial Historic District, approximately 34.46 acres in area, encompasses extant significant commercial and civic developments in the Wasco County seat which date from the historic period, 1860 to 1945. The District meets National Register Criteria "a" as the most concentrated assemblage of buildings reflecting the historic status of The Dalles as the leading shipping and trading center of the Mid-Columbia Plateau. The commercial center resulted from the settlement's siting at a natural obstruction to navigation on the Columbia River. The Dalles evolved as the south bank of the river became a general transportation corridor with a succession of trails, wagon roads, railroads, and highways meeting near the town on the banks of the Columbia River.

The fact that The Dalles grew to prominence as a regional seat of government and cultural center is conveyed by the imposing buildings of classical design, such as old and new county courthouses, the United States Post Office, the Carnegie Library, and Civic Auditorium, all tightly interspersed with the landmarks of commerce. Because resources in the District range from brick business blocks with cast iron facade decoration dating from the 1860s to a Moorish period style movie palace of the 1920s, the array is varied in type, form, and style. Nevertheless, there is within the district general consistency in scale (seldom exceeding three stories in height) and materials of construction, which are predominantly brick and native basalt. In addition to their visual linkages, the architectural resources convey a strong sense of the continuum of commercial and civic up-building in the historic gateway to the Cascade Range and Western Oregon.

The period of significance spans the period from 1860 to 1945 (see Section 8, Page IB for changes in the Period of Significance as a result of the 1997 Update). Buildings that date from the Primary Period of Significance, 1860 to 1899, represent the buildings from the early settlement and development period. The end date of 1899 marks a transition of the building type to more substantial commercial structures.

Buildings that date from the Secondary Period of Significance, 1900 to 1945, represent an era of growth and prosperity as well as economic hardships. The end date of 1945 corresponds to the end of WWII and the construction date of the addition to the grain elevator. Very little building was undertaken from the end of the war to the 1950s. The building types also change after the war to more modernistic building styles.

Section number 8 Page IB

Changes to the Period of Significance as a Result of 1997 Update

The Period of Significance (POS) was defined in the original district nomination as 1857 to 1938. The beginning date, 1857, corresponded to the construction date of the earliest building in the district, the Chew Kee & Co. Building (Inventory #101). Further deed research completed in the 1997 Update indicated that the building was most likely built at a later date, ca. 1877, instead of 1857. The construction date of c. 1877 also reflects the period in The Dalles' history when brick began to be more commonly used in the construction of commercial buildings. Wood was predominately used in the construction of buildings in the 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s. As a result of this research, the beginning date of the POS was changed to 1860 which reflects the construction date of the N.H. Gates House (Inventory #6).

The end date of the POS was also changed as a result of the 1997 Update. The original end date of 1938 was originally determined by building construction dates and historical events. The POS was changed to 1945 in the 1997 Update. The 1945 end date corresponds to the end of WWII, the construction date of the concrete section of the grain elevator (Inventory #109-110), and the decrease of building activity in the downtown until the boom of the 1950s.

The inclusion of the grain elevator in the expanded period of significance adds to the visual continuity of the district as well as emphasizing the importance of the grain trade to the economic development of The Dalles. The grain elevator has a direct visual relationship to the commercial buildings in the downtown and defines a strong edge to the district boundary on the north. The grain elevator continues the industrial and commercial themes of the downtown district.

Historic Overview of The DallesThe commercial and civic center of the City of The Dalles, strategically located at the eastern edge of the Columbia River Gorge, is prominent in the historical development of the Pacific Northwest. First platted as Dalles City in 1855, the original portion of the town is today a definable historic area that reflects a heritage of commercial enterprise serving the Inland Empire by river and rail traffic, and of civic administration of city and county government. Adjacent to riverine sites inhabited for a millennium by Tenino and Wasco Indians who fished and traded in the area, and near natural landmarks explored and noted by Lewis and Clark in 1805-06 and subsequently by French Canadian voyagers, the town developed from exploration, settlement, and trade connected with the Columbia River and its tributaries. Historically, the earliest white settlement was at the Methodists' 1838 Wascopam Indian Mission overlooking the lowlands bordering the river. By the 1840s the area of the future Dalles City was already an important transportation point; thousands of Oregon Trail emigrants arriving there placed their wagons on rafts and floated down river to complete their transcontinental journey, prior to completion of their overland route.

Following the emigrants were soldiers who occupied Ft. Dalles, above the town site, from 1850-1867. In 1851-1852 the area that was to be originally platted boasted a post office, trading post, and at least one permanent dwelling. A sidewheel steamer/ James P. Flint, operated from The Dalles to the Cascades of the Columbia, 40 miles down river, and a ferry connected the settlement to the north side of the river. Other vessels carrying cargo and passengers journeyed to and from Portland.

Wasco County was formed in 1854, bringing organized government to the area. Economic expansion of the city occurred with the discovery of gold in the interior in 1860; the Dalles-Celilo portage railroad construction in 1863, circumventing one of the many navigational hazards on the river; completion of the Union Pacific Railroad lines in 1882; establishment of flourishing wheat, stock, salmon, and fruit industries from 1853-1885; construction of the Dalles-Celilo Canal linking the lower river to the interior; and completion of the Columbia River Scenic Highway (National Register District) from Portland to The Dalles in 1922. Continuing twentieth century economic developments have also shaped the historic Dalles City area, but the essential components of commercial enterprise enhanced by ready transportation and the presence of an historic civic core, remain in the original townsite.

The earliest pattern of urban development occurred between 1851 and 1854. Many temporary structures and a few frame buildings were constructed in random fashion. In 1855 a plat was devised for Dalles City, though the area came to be known as "The Dalles," the French term for the long and short narrows between Celilo Falls, twelve miles to the east, and Big Eddy. The original plat included lots and streets aligned toward the river, and they remain so today. First (formerly Front or Main) Street faced the dock area and contained not only warehouses, but businesses operated and frequented by the Chinese who began arriving during the gold rush, and who increased in number with the railroad construction and the success of the salmon industry. Numbered streets continued parallel to the river and contained more trade oriented services such as mercantile, drug, livery, banking, and blacksmithing operations. Union, Court, and Washington streets bisected the principal waterfront area where an enormous number of cargo and passenger boats regularly docked.

Both Wasco County and Dalles City were formed through legislation enacted by the Oregon Territorial Legislature. In 1854, Wasco County was created. At the time of its formation it comprised approximately 130,000 square miles encompassing all of eastern Oregon, most of Idaho, and portions of Montana and Wyoming, the largest county ever formed in the United States. Laughlin Street, at the east boundary of the district, is named for William C. Laughlin, first county commission chairman of the vast domain. The Dalles was preeminent in the empire that was later known as the "mother county," from which seventeen Oregon counties were formed. The year after the county was shaped, a city government was organized; formal incorporation of Dalles City occurred on June 26, 1857.

The original Wasco County Courthouse which served all of eastern Oregon (extant National Register property moved to a site west of the historic district) was constructed in 1859 on the site now occupied by City Hall at the corner of Court and Third streets. A succeeding courthouse, built in 1912, is also extant at Fifth and Washington streets, thus completing a remarkable, if not unique grouping of three generations of county administrative headquarters.

The 1860sThe discovery of gold in the Nez Perces country of Washington in 1860, and in other parts of the interior, including Canyon City in the John Day River drainage, brought booming conditions to The Dalles. As head of navigation for the lower Columbia, the town was a trading and outfitting center during the placer mining activity of

NPS Form tO-fl<X>« OMB Appro** No. 1O24-C018




the 1860s. Historian D. W. Meinig, author of The Great Columbia Basin, notes: "The Dalles reaped the benefits of its position not only as the main portal to the interior, but, more importantly, as the essential transportation point for all river traffic." The earliest miners reached the city in 1862, some en route north and east to Idaho City and Silver City in Idaho, some to the Powder River and John Day River mining areas in Oregon, and other were headed as far east as Montana.

Thousands of miners arrived in the city, purchasing supplies and shipping them by road and river to the interior. To accommodate this new growth the city authorized construction of pipelines and a water system for the townspeople. Approval was also given for a toll sidewalk from Union Street to the river's low water mark. Many miners wintered in The Dalles, frequenting saloons, which were reported to have been twenty-five in number, causing the town's reputation to slide. In 1869 two merchants, E. Wingate and Griffith Williams, capitalized on the prospectors' demands for goods. The store continued after 1884 in the Williams family and remained in operation on Second Street until 1984.

The standard medium of exchange was gold dust. Gold was so abundant that Congress authorized $100,000 for building a United States mint in The Dalles, and although construction was begun on the structure (extant just to the east of the historic district), the building was not completed for its intended purpose. The gold rush had dissipated.

Even though the Oregon Steam Navigation Company (OSNC) maintained a monopoly on river traffic during the 1860s f The Dalles served merchants from points as distant as Boise, Missoula, and walla Walla. New transportation systems were also developed including the portage railway running twelve miles east from the city to Celilo, around the hazardous river area. In 1864, stagecoach service connected the town to the Canyon City mining area, and later routes to Prineville and Sherman County were inaugurated. And when mining operations began to falter, wheat became the principa/1 freight.

The 1870s and 1880sThe decade of the 1870s did not begin auspiciously for The Dalles as the gold fields were abandoned. Many transients passed through town, and the population rose only from 804 in 1860 to 942 in 1870. Later developments in the decade provided a positive economic impact, however. Large cattle and horse drives were organized from the city and directed to Midwestern markets; the Dalles-Ochoco Road was built; and construction of the Cascade Locks, forty miles down river, was begun.

Three disastrous fires consumed most of the . commercial area during the period. In 1871, a fire burned from Second and Washington streets to Third and Laughlin, causing $100,000 'damage. In 1878, another fire originated in the Second Street business district. The large frame Umatilla House hotel located on the waterfront was destroyed by fire in 1877 and again in 1879; it was immediately rebuilt after each fire. Another conflagration occurred in 1879 when the Pioneer Hotel fire caused an estimated $500,000 damage. Nearly all of the frame settlement era structures were then destroyed in Dalles City; several stone and brick buildings, however, remain from this period in the historic district.

Prosperity was again evidenced in the new decade. In 1880, the population leaped to 2232. Wheat ranchers and stockmen, whose fortunes were located on the extensive ranges outside of town, patronized the commercial and transportation center. The OSNC was absorbed by the Oregon Rail and Navigation Company (ORNC), which later became Union Pacific. In 1882, the rail line connected Portland and The Dalles; the operation continued to use the giant five-acre complex of machine shops, car shops, and roundhouses along the rail line parallel to the river, near the northwest corner of the historic district and beyond to the west to Mill Creek. A work force of 500 local men was employed by the railroad until its headquarters were relocated in Albina in 1893. Warehouses along First Street stored freight destined for overland transport, and as a consequence, the maritime trade and monopoly was weakened. In addition to the railroad, further economic diversity was provided by the Seufert Brothers, who built their first fishwheel on the Columbia in 1884-85, and who began their salmon harvesting operations in 1885. Attracted to the good fortunes in the town, gamblers and toughs frequented saloons and brothels located in the commercial area.

Disasters of fire and flood were experienced in The Dalles in 1880 in the commercial district. The fire destroyed several business blocks and shacks on Second Street, while the flodd afforded the opportunity for boats to ply First Street. A firehouse was constructed by the city in 1882, but another large fire occurred in 1888. After each episode the wooden buildings that were consumed were generally replaced by brick and stone construction. A building boom followed each fire: in 1888 eighteen structures were erected; in the following year $500,000 was expended on new construction.

NFS Form 10400* OUB Appro** No, 1024-0018




The 1990sThe new decade was ushered in with a fire ' causing heavy loss in the business district on January 11, 1890. But by far the worst fire in the history of the city was oh September 2, 1891, when twenty square blocks were obliterated containing many businesses and homes below the bluff; some had been the finest structures in The Dalles. Within an hour, three blocks burned simultaneously and at least thirty-eight families were left homeless. A number of homes were rebuilt by contractor H. Glenn. Over $1 million in damage was incurred; Max Vogt's Vogt Block and Opera House were destroyed, contributing to personal losses that approached $225,000. The fire reached as far north as First Street but most damage to the central business district was along Third Street and on portions of Second Street. The worst flood, called the "big flood," inundated the business core to Third Street .in 1894. Sometime after this event many of the city's streets were raised to ensure protection against future devastation.

The year of the fire, The Dalles Fruit Shipping Company was established to transport to distant markets cherries and apples grown in the area. Until this time, fruit had been grown successfully, but it was mainly for local consumption. Wheat was the leading crop in the county. One hundred thousand bushels were grown and used in the area in 1897; 50,000 bushels were exported to other markets. Attractive freight rates, created from the 1896 opening of Cascade Canal and Locks , made agricultural production profitable for farmers who relied on the city as a center of trade and commerce. Two setbacks of the '90s were the relocation of the Union Pacific work force, and the construction of the Columbia Southern Railroad from Biggs, to Sherman County, bypassing The Dalles.

In 1899, The Dalles established an ordinance to designate a city park. Located on Union between Fifth and Sixth streets well uphill from the recreations of the river, the park was founded on land grant property thought to have originally supported,, a school. It was also positioned just across the street from tAe Court Street School and under a low basalt bluff. One of the earliest entertainments on the tract was the presentation of the touring Chautaugua, a cultural phenomena of the early twentieth century. In The Dalles the Chautauqua was housed in a covered building that was in the northwest corner of the park site. Here, according to one older resident appeared the orator William Jennings Bryan, a famous speaker on the Chautauqua circuit. Other entertainment was presented from a bandstand that stood for many years on the site. The municipal park is also the site of an Oregon Trail monument

commemorating the 1906 oxcart trek of Ezra Meeker, who went on to retrace his 1852 trail crossing three more; times before he died in 1928.

The New CenturyAt the beginning of the twentieth century the city had, for purposes of the historic district nomination, completed its primary historic period. The Dalles was on the verge of its modern historic period, which began in an age of optimism and prosperity. The first few years were not punctuated by dramatic developments, but by the end of the decade a new pattern of growth emerged. In 1903 The Dalles was recognized as the commercial center of Eastern Oregon and its business district was said to be the second largest in the state, dominated only by Portland. Indeed, the city was at its zenith in 1910. Yet, civic and public improvements in the secondary historic period occurred intermittently until completion of the massive Bonneville Lock and Dam project, 1937-1938. Although the current emphasis of the project is hydroelectric power, the primary justification for construction initially was to provide a maritime trade route as far inland as The Dalles.

The first development of the century was the founding of a wool scouring business at the foot of Federal Street. The enterprise was a result of the city's short lived but eminent position as the leading center of wool production in the United States. The scouring mill employed twenty-five persons two years after it was begun. Another encouraging development was a $165,000 appropriation by the Oregon State Legislature for a right-of-way for the proposed Dalles to Celilo Canal and Railroad. In 1907 the Stadelman Ice Company built a local cold storage plant for fruit, enabling fruit growers to expand significantly their solidly growing market. Large scale fishing operations using a number of fishwheels also flourished from 1905 to 1926; fish were canned locally by crews of Chinese hired seasonally from Portland.

Community spirit reached a new high buoyed by the . development at nearby Celilo that .promised to provide an even letter shipping position for The Dalles. The city undertook a beautification project which, though well intended, included removal of a horse trough at Second and Laughlin, a move that was unpopular with ranchers who rode their horses to the commercial center from the outlying districts. A promoter was hired to distribute 150,000 pieces of literature describing the city, and plans were laid for twelve monthly full-page city advertisements in Sunset magazine. An electric railway was proposed; a more stringent saloon ordinance was passed; and street paving from First to Fourth streets was completed. Monumental structures such as the new Dalles Hotel,

along with buildings extant in the historic district arose around 1910: Elks Temple; Court Street Apartments; Walther-Williams Garage; Pease Department Store; Lemke Building; and Carnegie Library (National Register property). It was an unprecedented building period for the city, although the economic boom did not last for long.

A steel railroad bridge over the Columbia River, built several miles eastward at Wishram, was completed in 1911 at a cost of $3.5 million, bringing further revenue to The Dalles. In the following years there were two other public improvement projects: the completion of the $5 million The Dalles-Celilo Canal on the Columbia, permitting boats to ascend the upper river, and the completion of the paving of the Columbia River Highway (National Register Historic District) in 1922, providing efficient motor transportation along the south shore of the river from the Oregon coast to the city. Indeed, the old highway followed Second Street through the historic district, bringing commerce, trade, and tourism to the heart of the city. Many new automobile related businesses were built in downtown The Dalles including gas stations, service stations, and car dealerships.

Production of wheat and fruit continued to escalate. In 1915, a Libby, McNeil and Libby fruit canning plant was erected. The 1920s brought many new buildings to downtown including several auto related businesses, a theater, a bank, a hotel, the Civic Auditorium, retail stores, and the telephone company building.

Wheat prices were maintained at a high level during the First World War and continued until the Depression struck in 1929. A blow was dealt to the salmon industry, however/ in 1926 when Oregon voters, by initiative, outlawed the use of fishwheels, the major method of harvesting salmon on the Columbia. It was an economic setback for the town.

The Depression Era and WWIIThe Depression brought a sharp decline in building 'in downtown The Dalles. Only a few buildings were constructed during this period including a church, house, cleaners, department store (remodel), and a few service stations.

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) projects helped to relieve the economic disaster by strengthening the local economy through federally created employment. The early efforts of the Port of The Dalles to develop the waterfront was one such project. The Port, established in 1933, was working in conjunction with other development projects along the Columbia River to develop the port.

NPS Form 10-MO* OUB Apptovtl No. 1024-0018(8-ao)




One of the most important developments was the construction of two docks, Port Docks No. 1 and 2. These buildings were constructed through a WPA project and were completed in 1936 (razed in late 1980s). The dock warehouses received, housed, and distributed agricultural products sent to and through the region. These warehouses were later used in conjunction with the Port's grain elevator. Other developments occurred along the Columbia River which had an influence on the development of the Port of The Dalles and commerce. These included the completion of Bonneville Dam (1938), and the dredging of a channel to accommodate ocean-going vessels (1937 to the early 1940s).

Bonneville Dam, with its giant work force forty miles downstream, helped to stabilize the area. By 1937, a deeper ship channel between Vancouver, Washington and Bonneville was completed which provided means for larger vessels to reach The Dalles. The next year, the Bonneville Dam was completed making river transport easier. By 1939, reports in The Dalles paper reported a sharp increase in tonnage shipped of petroleum products (upstream) and wheat (downstream). In 1939, twice as much wheat was shipped downstream than in 1938. The wheat production which had suffered during the 1930's drought was now on a upswing due, in part, to changes in weather conditions and market demand.

The population of The Dalles only slightly increased from 5,883 in 1930 to 6,226 in 1940. Very little new construction occurred in the downtown and the majority of what new building did occur happened in the first year of the Depression (1930). The agricultural industry, the backbone of the region, was hit hard in the 1930s and many businesses in The Dalles closed their doors as a result of the depressed economy. wheat production during the Depression fell as the price tumbled to twenty-five cents per bushel; livestock production became so unprofitable that many ranchers did not bother to take their stock to market. As the Depression slowly came to an end, wheat production in Wasco County increased ushering in a periodof prosperity. • /

WWII EraIn 1941, national marketing quotas were set for wheat which exceeded normal domestic consumption and exporting by 35 percent. Wasco County growers experienced a bumper wheat crop in 1941 which brought a demand for more storage facilities. Current storage facilities were inadequate and farmers asked for better and more storage facilities. To make thing worse, after the start of WWII, the

NFS Form 10400* OMB Appmnml No. 1024-0019 (8-88)




burlap sacks that the grain was typically stored in were not available thus precipiating a change from storage of grain in sacks to bulk storage.

Because of the increase demand for bulk storage facilities, the Port of The Dalles proposed construction of a 500,000 bushel grain elevator in downtown The Dalles in 1942. A bond measure for the construction of the grain elevators was passed in April, 1942 and construction began on the wooden crib bulk grain elevator in the spring of 1942. The elevators were completed in September 1942. A conveyor system connected the elevator to the Port's dock and warehouses which utilized the Port's facility. A railroad spur also connected with the elevators; wheat could be shipped by rail or barge. The grain elevator was the first of many grain elevators built along the reaches of the Mid-Columbia Basin. In 1945, a concrete silo addition was added to the wooden elevator increasing capacity by 368,000 bushels. The location of the elevators adjacent to the downtown brought an increase in activity to the area. No other buildings were erected in the downtown during WWII.

Other developments occurred as a result the War. The Dalles cooperated with the federal government in defense programs and in 1941 the city expended $39,000 in acquiring the site for a municipal airport. The site was across the river at Dallesport, Washington (completed in 1942). The federal government spent over $1,000,000 developing the Class 4 airport. The Army Corps of Engineers continued its work on the channels of the Columbia River. In 1940- 41, the Corps modernized The Dalles-Celilo Canal to increase the flow of traffic on the Columbia River mainly to facilitate the shipment of wheat downstream and the shipment of petroleum upstream. The work on the channel enabled larger tanker barges to access the fertile lands of the Inland Empire. The City of The Dalles also allocated funds on purchasing waterfront sites that would promote industrial development along the river (and on the Port sites). This would not occurr until after the WWII.

Post-wwil iBy 1946, the population of The Dalles had reached about 7,000 people and by 1948 another 1,000 were added to the town's population. Although there was an increase in the population, there was very little building in downtown (no new buildings were constructed in the District until the early 1950s).

Other maritime improvements also brought an infusion of capital to the local economy after WWII. Notable was the completion in 1957 of The Dalles Dam on the eastern edge of town (started in 1952), submerging the historic but navigation impeding Celilo Falls and

NFS Form 10-900-* OMB Apptvvml Ho. 1O24-O018 (6-66)




Canal, and Five and Tenmile rapids (also submerged the salmon cannery bringing an end to the industry in- The Dalles). The Dalles Bridge, which connected the Oregon and Washington side of the Columbia River, was open to traffic in 1953. The aluminum indu'stry came to The Dalles after the dam's completion and in 1958 a smelter plant opened in The Dalles. The competition of the dam and bridge brought a new wave of development to The Dalles.

Many new buildings in the downtown were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s. Historic buildings were demolished to make way for more modern structures. Medical buildings, banks, fraternal hall, utility company facilities, retail stores, malls, and parking lots were constructed. Many of the historic buildings were "modernized" during this period.

In the 1970s and 1980s, very little building activity took place in downtown The Dalles. This was a period when new shopping malls were constructed outside the downtown which caused the gradual decline of the urban core. Although many retail stores have closed over the years, a majority of the City and County services, and utility companies have remained downtown. The fraternal organizations also maintain their lodges in the downtown and the grain elevators are still active (additional storage added in 1977). Efforts have been made over the last ten years to restore many of the town's historic resources in downtown thus promoting The Dalles as a historic city.

SummaryIn many ways The Dalles commercial area is a monument to its rich history. A substantial number of historic resources survive in The Dalles to clearly identify the city with its economic importance in the development of Eastern Oregon and the Inland Empire. A definable civic core is also evident to connect The Dalles with its evolution as a seat of city and county government. Today The Dalles is a center that continues to prosper from economies drawn traditionally from the river and from the land; and it is a community that i s exceptionally aware of its historical legacy.

Boundary JustificationThe Dalles Commercial Historic District is in the heart of The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon along the south bank of the Columbia River. The District encompasses approximately 34.46 acres and is located in Township 1 N, Range 13 E, the Willamette Meridian. The District encompasses a majority of the commercial buildings constructed during the historic period. The District boundaries also include prominent civic, religious, governmental, fraternal, agricultural, and some residential dwellings. The oldest City Park is also included in the District as well as a historic monument.

Interstate 84 defines the northern boundary, residential neighborhoods define the west and south boundaries, and industrial and residential define the eastern boundary. District boundaries were also determined by distinct changes in topography and land uses.

Boundary ChangesAt the time of the orginal nomination, in 1986, the boundary encompassed other separately-held tax lots. Buildings on these lots had subsequently been removed. In conformance with Federal Regulations 36 CFR 60.14(a) pertaining to changes to boundaries of properties listed in the National Register, the State Historic Preservation Advisory Committee met on June 9, 1989, and duly determined the cleared parcels inventoried as Nos. 70 (parking lot), 71 (General Auto Machine Shop), and 108 (Railway Express Agency Building) no longer met the criteria of the National Register. Accordingly the Advisory Committee petitioned the State Historic Preservation Officer to revise the boundary description for the The Dalles Commercial Historic District. The State Historic Preservation Advisory Committee met again on November, 1989, and duly determined the cleared parcel inventoried as Nos. 112 (Port of The Dalles grain warehouse) no longer met the criteria of the National Register. Accordingly the Advisory Committee petitioned the State Historic Preservation Officer to revise the boundary description for the The Dalles Commercial Historic District.

The 1997 District Update document also corrects an error in the original delineation of the boundary which was drawn through a large non-historic building which occupies Lots 7 through 10 and portions of Lots 11 and 12 of Block 5, Bigelow Addition to the Original Plat of The Dalles City. The revised boundary includes the entire tax lot occupied by the Bakitchen Bakery and represents an addition of .46 of an acre to the district. The following boundary description reflects these revisions.

NPS Form 10-800* OMBApprm*Na 1024-0018(8-86)




Verbal DescriptionOn the east and west lie industrial and residential neighborhoods of distinctly differing character.
